Critters System

have funny dream about rediscover some story that write as kid - unfortunately not real - and was all about like , this magical food dimension that would give anything which want , but have to be properly grateful or else fae would eat in return . this story somehow make into newspaper , too ? 

this was something that get so much white rage bubble over on cohost , but there was series of discussions about this idea that japanese media is inherently more " comfortable " , and therefore some cosy genre stuff try to emulate japan in specific - not for japanese audience , but for white one , results of which range anywhere from mild annoyance to massive misrepresentation and cruelty . others talk about orientalism far better than kossai ever could , but there is still one thing that crop up in mind and wonder how much this contribute in addition . 

in internet age especially , have so much easy access to things from anywhere and everywhere . and think fair assessment that lots of westerners who turn to anime and manga already have troubles as outcasts , maybe abuse in life , so on and so on . and unlike other countries that might be closer , might have more similar languages to native one , well . this would all be completely indecipherable to everyone else in life , in most circumstances . these things feel like comfortable secrets because no one else could understand .

kossai was in that place too once , to lesser degree than some . was not " total weeaboo " , but did over-romanticise certain media ideas , and take massive comfort in things like ... how no one could understand lyrics of song even if choose to blast from speakers due to language barrier , or how have decent freedom to pass off anime as " just silly cartoons " , even if actually about secret gay romances . 

again this is definitely not only factor , but wonder if that contribute for some people . learn these same ideas , but never step back and reevaluate at some point - interpret that comfortable part about japanese media is japan , rather than japan become subject of comfort by sheer circumstance . 

some fae can indeed lie , of course , and aversion is moreso ... well , take skill to play with words , and many fae appreciate that skill . to say blatantly false things , and not even have fun , that can really annoy . so if not life or death situation , much more fun to twist and turn until truths and secrets lead down completely wrong paths , not just point to wrong signpost , if that make sense .

anyway , kossai always kind of have tendency to point out when joke is joke , but recently realise that will often actively point out when joke specifically based on something that is not entirely true . can still lie and hold tongue to not reveal lie when necessary , not like total compulsion , just can not help but point out in jokes . 

just think that is funny . possibly another pressure vent situation , really - if lie just for fun , have freedom to highlight and rattle on about why that was lie , so that able to hold together when lie is actually necessary . :P
